More signal.
Less noise.
Podcasts scouted from beyond the charts. Solo creators, niche experts, and emerging voices — never the algorithms' greatest hits.
Field Manual
How the signal score works
Every discovery gets a 0–100 signal score — a scout's read on how much attention a show deserves relative to the noise around it. Higher scores mean stronger signal, not bigger audience.
- Niche
- Shows working a rare genre earn more than shows in crowded lanes.
- Curator
- A boost when a human scout has personally staked a note on the show.
- Activity
- Recent episodes and a steady cadence beat archives that went quiet.
- Off-chart
- Chart-toppers sit outside our scope — you already know where to find them.
Scores are rebuilt from the RSS feed on every visit — no black-box ranking, no paid placement.
